Coming in to a professional recording studio to work on an album or demo is always an exciting prospect. However, you can make the most of your time in the studio by following a few simple pointers:
- For a recording to sound big, it must be played big. Tightness will dramatically improve the size of the recording. If the kick drum and bass guitar lock up properly, the result is a huge tone greater than their sum. Everyone should be comfortable with their parts. This will make the recording sound 10 times better. The recording will go quicker, you'll save money, and you'll have more time to experiment.
- Most, but not all bands sound better with new drum heads, new guitar strings, and new bass strings. Some are big fans of all of these. Some are not. If your drums sound the way you like them to, don't change. The same goes for the rest of the instruments. However, in many cases, old strings and heads are associated with dead or lifeless tones. Work that as you see fit. It's your instrument.
